SURVIVOR

[Clueless Morgan]

Yep, absolutely he should have won season 19, despite the fact that he was an enormous asshole.  Mick had checked out of the game long before, Natalie basically didn't play the game.  

Season 20 he absolutely deserved to lose - he didn't learn from his prior game and improve his social game.  He couldn't beat either Sandra or Parvati.

Play a bad enough social game, yeah you'll get to the end - but probably not win.  I think if the season 20 contestants had an opportunity to see his play, he wouldn't have made the merge.

He also played back to back seasons in 19 and 20 with, I think, days or only a few weeks between filming so he didn't get a chance to get distance from his game and look back on it with any sort of hindsight or anything to see how he was being portrayed, how people were reacting to him, or how he might have improved.

Going into season 20, he played basically the exact same game and, to be fair, it worked for him twice - but his game was not a winning one.  He completely disregarded the social aspect of the game and bullied his way to the end twice.  When he came back the third time in Redemption Island, you could see the difference between him, a guy who is so arrogant he refuses to learn anything, and a guy who learned something from his own previous seasons in Boston Rob.  Rob understood that strategy is what gets you to the end, but it's the social game that clinches the win.

Jason was tanking his social game. He was playing like Russell in the beginning, but being an out and out bully to your tribe mates doesn't get you far.
